Video Discription |
The Phantom Flex 4k is known to be the ultimate tool for slow-motion capture, producing mesmerizing footage. As you can imagine, it comes with a hefty price tag—$70k-$150k—so it has always been more rental-oriented. And it’s rare: it’s rumored that there are only a handful of these cameras in the New York area.
In this workshop, Tore Knos covered a variety of topics including the fundamentals of high-speed photography, how to set-up and operate the camera, and the unique production and post-production workflows associated with the Phantom Flex4K.
